can't download from hulu anymore

[chanc]

I have tried the new hulu.sh .
The code is like this now:


$ hulu.sh
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: \windows/system32/macromed/flash/mms.cfg
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/macromed/flash/mms.cfg
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/usin...sing-pathnames
Killed flash player for clean dump.
Restart video then press enter here

Make choice. Avoid level3.


the browser still states :adobe flash plugin crashed.

Is there a way to solve this ?
If the script kills adobe flash plugin, how can the script work on hulu.com ?

This warning should be fixed now.

As I said before, the script purposely kills the flash player, in order to
perform a clean memory dump. After flash player is killed, you simply need to
restart the video before continuing.

[chanc]

It still does not work here.
It seems to me that the script kills the video too soon to get any rtmpe stream.

As you can see, when the script reminds me to make a choice, it does not offer any choices at all.

The script doesn't catch anything before it stop the video.

I remember that when using rtmpsrv.exe, if it sniffed the stream ,the video was killed;If it didn't, the video kept going on smoothly.

Not like the case where I ran hulu.sh.It just directly ends the video with nothing collected.

Ok, I am going to explain it a third time.

The script kills the video on purpose, to perform a clean memory dump.

After this happens, you need to restart the video.

After the video has restarted, you can continue the script by pressing enter.

[chanc]

Thank you very much for your kindness and great patience.I really appreciate it.

I list what I have been doing below.

I am at work right now so I cant test it for a few hours. It seems like the problem might be the timeout. Try changing this line

timeout 1 dumper p $REPLY 2>/dev/null

to this

timeout 3 dumper p $REPLY 2>/dev/null

Thanks a lot , the problem partly solved ,though I still fail to download,here is the code I got :

I am not in the US, so I have been using go agent to access to hulu.com. Does this contribute anything to the download failure ?

You could try new rtmpdump from KSV, but that might not help

You have several duplicates here, and some junk. Download new hulu.sh to fix
this.

Sorry, cant help with that. Maybe make new thread in rtmpdump forum.
